I haven't logged in here for such a long time but I wanted to show my support for the Tinnitus Talk Podcast. I listened to the first episode and...

I got caught by an ambulance once as I stood next to it . I think it did do some kind of auditory damage as I caught some sound sensitivity out of...

Hi Will, Medicine induced is one type of Tinnitus I havent yet had, but apparently you need a lot of medicine for it to actually do permanent...

So for me, I had tinnitus for a few months. Then it got better. All in all, it's amazing what the human body can come back from. I'd say I'm 95%...

Howdy, just my two cents (or pence, coming from the UK!). I agree with what all the others say, early days and try not to listen out for it. I...

I went to one this weekend, put the plugs in when it got a bit too loud but on the whole feel like I came out unscathed. You can white list...

I have a girlfriend in Australia while I live live in the UK. For those who are wary of flying here is what I did (p.s I suffered from acoustic...

It probably also tells you that over time your ears are on the mend ;) , congrats!

Congrats! I believe H is more phycological , the brain goes into "defensive mode" when it percieevs sounds as a threat. If you expose yourself to...

Ahh I see, well yours is a little different to mine then, as mine was noise induced hearing damage. I caught static noise from playing in a band...

Sounds like you are very similar to me :). Sounds were more noticeable, definitely . So I think you have what I have, mild sensitvitity. The...

Hi Chris, I think you have what I had and you are in the earlier stages of it. I used to hear higher frequencies a lot (people's money clinking,...

It can take longer than 4 months yes, the trick is to play it by ear (see what I did there) and not think about it. Expose yourself to sound...

You wear ear plugs on the tube?

I'm in North London. you?

Hi Jake, I do that whole alert thing on the tube , listening out for loud train tracks lol. Does get a little addictive.

Yes i would say so, I feel more resilient towards cars and trains. I still feel like the damage has made its mark though, certain cars still feel...

I had this after an accident involving an ambulance siren . After this I began to become sensitive to high pitched noises. I believe that's what...

I've had this happen to me. In fact I've had all three types of issues, tinnitus, PT and Sound sensitivity (one step less to hypercausis I guess)....

I would suggest avoiding headphones altogether. I’m sure you have come across a few @Michael Leigh posts, he is somebody that has had Tinnitus...

I’ve battled with pulsation Tinnitus before and I am living proof it can go. To this day i dont know what caused mine in the first place and why...

I would rather they focus on fixing Tinnitus before getting a rat to speak

Yes I agree with you, I think 2 years from now is a bit of a long shot, but definitely by 2025-2030 I think they will found some better solutions,...

Hi guys, I'm sure many of you have seen this before, but there seems to be a general prediction of around 2020 where some realistic things can be...

I had a whooshing noise pretty loud at one point but I learnt to live with it by playing pink noise and funny enough if I plugged my ear I...

Metallic sounds are a common offensive sound for people with H or sound sensitivity as they are generally higher pitched noises. I used to have an...

I would say it’s very early to tell. I used to play in bands without any protection whatsoever, it was dumb but I never knew about the risks till...

If I was in your shoes , I would continue with the pink noise, but run it off a speaker near your bedside table. I would probably also avoid...

I never had the pain symptoms but I did develop sound sensitivity from standing next an ambulance before it started blasting it’s sirens. I woke...

I’ve had this previously before as well but only when I used to lie down. Just like you, when I got up, it was gone! To this day I don’t know...

Yeh if it only reaches around 90 with ear plugs I think youll be fine . If it’s 90 constantly perhaps take breaks in between, but from what u...

Sounds like a little sound sensitivity to me. If I was you I’d get proper ear plugs and see how you go. Measure how loud sounds get with your...

I used to go to the movies when I first caught T and for each movie I went to I didn’t have any issues at all. Last film I saw was the Hateful 8...

Wow, I’m also impressed with your workaround on the computer Red. That is amazing stuff ! What do you do for work?

Hi Sen, I’ve had rsi and know what a pain (quite literally it can be). I take it you work in the IT field ? I do and I used to have issues like...

Hmm tough one, im no expert, although it seems that if a few hours later the pain came and only after the military jet (assuming you can't think...

My own story was sound induced , I've been though the same as others: Experienced tinnitus for a few years , then developed a sound sensitivity...

I would certainly try and request a relaxing but quieter celebration if possible , but who knows you might get that anyway! It's often out of...

Hi Michael, Absolutely, I do know it's not easy for newcomers, I remember when mine first happened.. it can be challenging and frightening....

Think of Tinnitus as an angry child if you pay attention to it , it will continue to cause problems . Ignore it and it does actually improve to...

Hi Sandra, Take it from me I had the squealing brakes issue and still do a little. But I'm currently doing much better. You just need to give it...

Not really, it's one of the safest antibiotics to use. The "mycins" are the antibiotics class to avoid. The worst of these is neomycin.

I think you should do your piano lessons, these sounds although might hurt will not cause nay further damage plus you can start to get some...

Ye, you just need to be sensible in what can cause damage and what can't. I've read loads of horror stories on the web about even baby screams...

Yep sounds like you are a little similar to where I'm at. I don't have tinnitus, but have had it in the past , I don't have TTS either but just...

Hi , I'm very similar to you in that I analyse everything for fear of getting worse. I was on holiday a few weeks back and I was almost back to...

Hmm not to my knowledge I never wear headphones anymore not since my sensitivity or T began. Since this began, I haven't been very good at not...

Probably a normal thing , but I feel that my own sensitivity is linked to 1) how tired I am 2) my emotional responses to sounds Just a few...

Hi Michelle, I would imagine you are probably where I am with my situation. Which is a mixture of fear of noise (misophonia I think it's called)...

Personally, I've never found any of Michaels comments offensive , in fact I think quite the opposite . I've reached out to him once or twice in...

Yep tiredness and stress defintely had an impact in mine too, at its worst it would take days to go away

It will get better, but do try chill out a little, unforunatley, as people say, stress can have an impact on it . It won't be doom and gloom...

I know exactly how you feel. What sort I hyperacusis do you have, is it the one with pain or just certain sounds that feel distorted ? I think...

I used to a lot , I had a real fear of one station in particular as it was loud outside (dodgy rail tracks probably ) but I decided to test myself...

Haha, that's the spirit , I Think? Overdoing it is one thing but I think to do that you would have to really over do it to make your H worse,...

I actually think you did the right thing there , de sensitising is really important, and I would say one test would not be enough. I used to have...

Well, I use to play in bands (the classic case) which gave me my first ear injury, but I think it was the ambulance that pushed me over the edge....

Ye take your time over your panic attack, I had one on Monday actually when a siren went off near me, but for the most part I'm relaxed again now....
